re: What’s the wildest thing you’ve even seen in person

Working as medical staff Endymion ball circa 2007. Got a call about a fall from a float. I figured someone just fell off the last step exiting because they were drunk.

The guy had exited too early and the float took off to finish the route. He fell and got stuck underneath the float. He was drug a good 75 to 100 yards. I arrive to essentially a hemicorpectomy with 2/3 of the remnant chest wall in little pieces along the trail behind the float. The bottom torso isn’t there. I’m looking at lung tissue taking agonal breaths as the lungs expand and contract.

I see that occasionally as I drift off to sleep nearly 15 years later.
